About me
I follow an integrative approach, which means I can draw upon a range of counselling theories and techniques to best meet your needs. This is based on the belief that no single approach will work for all clients and that the most effective counselling is tailored to each person’s individual needs. While my counselling practice is grounded in the person-centred approach, it is often complemented with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and other modalities when needed. Together, we will find the best approach for you.
In addition to my private practice, I work as a crisis support worker and volunteer counsellor for a local charity, where I provide immediate support to individuals who often feel overlooked or unsupported by other services. I also volunteer with Cruse Bereavement where I provide one-to-one telephone sessions, offering clients a safe and supportive space to explore and process their grief.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified counsellor, a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and graduate member of the British Psychological Society (BPS). I have been described by my peers as approachable, open-minded and hard-working, while my clients say I’m down-to-earth, honest, and a safe person to talk to. I have experience working with clients from a diverse range of backgrounds covering all age groups, from young adults to older adults. I have also supported people with a wide range of concerns, from childhood trauma through to work related issues. I have a particular interest in bereavement, sexuality and anxiety disorders.
I have a background in counselling psychology and have the following qualifications:
- Master of Science in Counselling Psychology (Distinction)
- Bachelor of Science with Honours in Counselling Psychology (First Class)
- Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (Achieved)
- Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies (Achieved)
- Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills (Achieved)
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, explore how we could work together, and for you to consider whether I am the right counsellor for you. This will involve an initial assessment to further understand your reasons for seeking support and what you hope to gain from counselling.
